What's Plaguing Gilbert Grape | Son of a Boy Dad #443

The podcast blends humor and deep discussion to explore a range of topics, from the popular party game "Bar Soul" to the physicality and ethics of bodybuilding, media representation of disability, and the rise of AI-generated content. A central debate centers on Joey Swole’s extreme physique, with hosts questioning if it stems from natural development or steroid use, reflecting broader societal skepticism about authenticity in physical appearance. The conversation then shifts to media, analyzing outdated portrayals of people with special needs in 1990s films like *Gilbert Grape*, and contrasting them with modern awareness and respect. A major segment critiques Sebastian Manescalco’s takeover of a comedy channel, where original content was replaced with classic acts, leading to accusations of financial exploitation and creative appropriation. The episode also promotes Stella Blue coffee as a socially conscious product supporting animal rescue and recommends High Noon as a party drink. Throughout, the hosts engage in reflective commentary on rapid societal changes, including the speed of childhood development and the growing influence of AI in entertainment. The tone remains lighthearted but thought-provoking, ending with a philosophical inquiry into whether life's actions are meaningful or just a passive waste of time.

You should grab yourself a case of High Noon because that's the best thing to bring to a tailgate, the best thing to have if you're hosting a watch party on a Sunday, the best thing to have if you just want to have a nice clean drink. I like to have some High Noons just cold in my refrigerator at all times, not just in case I have some surprise company, but just as my treat for a Friday when I'm trying to enjoy myself for a Saturday, if I'm going to watch some college football, that's a high new opening, and I'm talking about a tequila seltzer or a vodka seltzer, which is my preference, but you know what? I don't judge just because someone likes a different flavor or they like the tequila based. Doesn't mean we can't all still be friends, root for the same teams, you know what I mean? The lime with the tequila is a classic timeless drink and you almost feel like you just went to a nice resort and they've made you something that, you know, is proprietary to their property, but somehow this is something that you can access at any time and they're fantastic, no malt, real fruits, sparkling water, natural flavors, real tequila or a real vodka over there. Exactly. And if you're wondering where you can get some or to learn more, go to highnoonspirates.com and now let's start the episode. Can you finish your body armors? All righty, welcome back to the son of a boy that podcasts today. It is October 6th. We are here live from HQ three. Welcome back. How are we? We'll soon to Joey Swole, Joey Swole is at the forefront of our minds. Joey Swole was in the hospital. Joey Swole? Yeah. Joey Swole. I'm not familiar. You don't know Joey Swole? No. The guy that I was rushed to the hospital Saturday morning, the guy who does the videos outside of the gym being like, you are not allowed to like call someone to creep in the gym if they're just looking at you while you're working out. Just because someone's looking at you masturbating while they work out does not make them a creep. I really don't want people to look at you. Stop wearing such tight clothing. I've never seen this guy in my life. There's other. I don't even know the show. Show us. Don't show us Joey Swole. It is worse. Show us Joey Swole. It looks great. It is at a small hospital. Even in the hospital. Yeah. Exactly. He had hard issues. You've definitely seen that. I mean, I have no doubt that he's a beast just from first glance, but I don't know him. Look at that. There's Swole. God. There's the Swole. I mean, when you know in your pecs are touching your biceps, your jack when you've cleavage in your arm and your breast, that is the number one sign of being jacked side to it. I mean, it's literally the top of the peak of his bicep is touching the side of his peck. His vein is like he got branded into a black frat. Yeah. I mean, he's swole. He might be one of the swole or people I've ever seen. He's Joey Swole. Yeah. But he's ethical too. He's got four arms or fucking huge. Yeah. He looks like Mark McWire. He's like dies. Is that one year? It looks like Drusky in that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When he had the plastic cover up, his second heart surgery. No. Fuck. Matt was saying that Joey Swole that it's it's in his like he's always had hard issues. It's not related to his working out his protein intake or steroids usage allegedly. Real. This is just natural. No. He's like high cholesterol. What about a stat? It's related. Yeah. I would assume so. That would be the most logical stat and he'll be fine. He's natty. He says he's natty. He's never touched the stuff. That's why he has veins sticking out of his pecs. I wonder why guys who are on steroids are so vehemently in denial that they are on them. I mean, even with few takes steroids, it still takes work. Yeah. These ones like also no one's like going to be mad at this guy if they find out that he's on steroids, like that you can't achieve that without steroids. I agree. It's literally almost impossible. I don't think you can look that way. You have to hit like a genetic lottery to be able to even then there's just a there's a peak. For humans. Yeah, but he just lives in the gym hits his macros hits his protein goals. Doesn't matter. He has a good balance of carbohydrates, saying amounts of testosterone on top of that. Sits on a bed of needles. Yeah. Yeah. It's just a crazy. You're kicking him while he is not just down. He's in the hospital. Well, you guys wanted to bring up the top one of those beds that you see the like Tibetan monks. Yeah. Yeah. Down on the needles. Like just all needles. Each one just simultaneously all through the night slowly compressing into him. That's the most efficient way to do it. One at a time. I mean, yeah, he's probably on everything. He's probably on fucking, you know, G L P wall. I mean, this is a good picture like we're not going to just give him a hard time for you having a good picture. I'm not giving him a hard time at all. I'm just saying. I think, yeah, I think he probably has had two heart surgeries in 30 years, probably because of his extensive drug usage. You might just have a perfect body for weightlifting. He might be on the shorter side. This is Joey Swil. Can we look up his height? This tall is Joey Swil. Of course he swole, but, you know, because it's five foot nine, oh, five, six, six, six. Oh, yeah, your point is stands. He has a perfect body for weightlifting. When you're that tall, all of the mask gets pushed down and outward, like if you're five foot six. Yeah, when you're that short, you can't, you can't. Don't get jacked. Nobody who's five foot six isn't jacked. Right. Exactly. I mean, that he still is very, very jacked for five foot six. But my point is that everyone who's five foot six is jacked. No. Yes, they are. Not like that. You see someone with those tiny little stumpy arms? Yeah, but where there's a big difference between stumpy arms and what that guy looks like. Bro, this dude, like if you guys think this guy is not on steroids, all right. Let's put it this way. To me to look like that, I'd have to put on a hundred pounds of muscle. No, I understand. I'm not being short. It's two meals. Yeah. I understand. Two chicken salad sandwiches, but he still is on steroids. Yeah. Absolutely. I have friends that are five six. They don't have triple bicep. No, they don't have, like a motivation either, then that's on them for not having triple bicep. They don't belong to gyms. They go hiking for. And I also, I probably have jacked five six friends too, that they're not that jacked. Well, you're just your gangly arms could never comprehend the compact bench press motion that this guy has. Yours could. No, look at me. Bro, his rep gets three inches off his chair. I think you guys are also like kind of, I mean, five foot six is into that. He's not like, he's not four feet tall. He still has a normal human being. Bro, five six is impossibly short. No, it's not. It is for a man, for an American man. It's short, but it's not like he's not like a freak. It's freak. No, I don't know. I don't know anyone. Yes. You do. Nobody work with people that short. Zah. Jerry. Jerry's probably five foot six. Is he probably and he's jacked and Jerry's very jacked. Jerry's not jacked at all. He's super jacked. Yes, he is. Yeah, but Jerry, Jerry's got tattoos. Yes. And that adds like three inches. You guys are brain dead. I think that Jerry, I think Jerry's going to start doing steroids. I think that Joey Swole is somebody who's in the like, bar stool universe. And I don't want to glaze past that. I want to get back to that. But I think that Joey Swolzone in the bar stool universe, like Clavicular and Stella left you that you just can't make fun of. Oh, really? Yeah. You can't. He's going to be coming in here. He's. That's why even if he does steroids in front of you, you have to be like, no, he didn't. Yeah. I didn't see shit. Yeah. Joey Swolz is a good man. And Joey Swolz the most honest man I know. Those were peptides. Yeah. That's insulin. He's diabetic. He has hard problems. Had he been here on the day that that Uber Eats driver attacked our guy, he would have climbed right inside his helmet, like Ant Man. Yeah. And Gouche's eyeballs out. Yeah. Probably. You're probably right. Joey Swolz was in Toy Story One. You play that really jacks up toy. Do you remember? Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. That's young Joey Swolzone. I like that. I like how like the casting, like they, they, they, they still wanted Jack. I just for the voice over. Well, it's like when they cast real paraplegics to play people in wheelchairs. Exactly. Because otherwise there's a whole whole. Yeah. There was. You know, the Jack community already feels under represented in film. Yeah. People get really mad when there's like a role that's similar to them that they didn't get. Correct. Yeah. You're like Brian Cranston got cast to play a paraplegic. Meanwhile, there's plenty of. Yeah. Wheelchair bound actors that are not getting work. It's like, well, are they Brian Cranston? How many Emmys do they have? Because he's probably the single greatest TV actor ever. Yeah. So where's the line? Can anybody play anything? Do you think that someone could play a midget that was a tall person? No. No. In Mulan Rouge, John Leibhizambo does that. And he just like waddles around on his knees. Yeah. I mean, that's a little odd. It must be. I mean, is that like the before that old? It's like the 90s. Yeah. Late 90s before they elected a president. Everything flew in the 90s. Yeah. Of course. Everything was okay. Everything was fine. Everybody retired. Special needs person. There were so many. It was like I am Sam. There were so many able-minded people who played. Now does. Inable. Yeah. Never. Forgive me. Did you guys ever see Gilbert Grape? No. Neither of you have seen Gilbert Grape. I've heard it referenced on every show ever. So I think I basically got the plot. Well, I've heard Batman referenced on every show ever. I haven't seen Batman begins. I don't want to talk about jazz brother. Nothing wrong with it. Just you're. I mean, that's a, that's like a pretty famous movie, though. That neither. But what am I going to see it now? Like you missed the train, man. I'm not going to do incredibly depressing. But yeah, you should see it. I choose not to watch it for how it offends me based on the representation of people. But you guys, like, how did you guys not watch that movie when you were young years? I thought it was a key. Um, I don't know. I was watching Batman begins. Batman begins came out years after Gilbert Grape. I was watching the movie. You must have, you were way you were holding out. You were waiting for your first movie. I was waiting for it. I was waiting for the trilogy of Gilbert Grape. So I could watch the second. Yeah, Gilbert begins Gilbert, Gilbert's eating. Gilbert has eaten. Oh, fuck. I watched Gilbert Grape when I was very young. What's drinking Gilbert Grape? Who put it on? Who put it on for you? Your parents. I watched it at my cousins in Illinois. What is it? A cautionary tale? I don't know. It's kind of just like a really depressing movie. Is it the, uh, is it the Of Mice and Men sort of like of of, um, it's pretty much just like this older dude, Johnny Depp. And who plays a special needs person, Julianne Moore with that haircut? Is that Julianne Moore? It's Leonardo DiCaprio. Who's on the right? Oh, I don't know. Who's that woman? But pretty much, I think Leo is his younger brother. And like, he's pretty much just trying to get pussy the whole movie. And his younger brother keeps fucking it up by like running up the water tower and shit. What do you mean running up the water tower? I've never seen it. That's what I know exactly what he's talking about. He's always like running up the, like the ladder of the water tower and like hanging out on the top of the water tower. And they got to like, you have the fire department come pull him off. Does somebody die? And he like, I think like everyone shakes the person. His, well, his dad, he talks about his dad dying, but Leo's mom is like, how he discovers her and she's dead. It's such a depressing movie. The dad kills himself and the mom, they just like, like they've show the mom and she hasn't left her bed in like 30 years. So she's like 900 pounds. It just seems so good. You should definitely watch it. I think I'm all set. I just don't want to be depressed. I'm not going to go out of my way to be depressed about like children. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely a depressing movie. Yeah. This shit sucks. Before we get back to Jersey, Jersey being on steroids, do you think that Tom Cruz in the last samurai? Do you think that that was fucked up? Tom Cruz in the last samurai. Wasn't he the guy that was in the last. Yeah. Yeah. He was. Was he really? Yeah. What's fucked up? What's the accusation there? He plays a Japanese. Oh, I'm thinking, no, he doesn't play a Japanese guy. He plays a guy who gets captured or whatever. And then they realize that he's able and they turn him into one of their own. He earns their respect. Oh, like Mulan or so many other white boy Mulan. Yes. Like white boy can't jump white men can't jump. I've never seen that. I was thinking of seven samurai. I think I'm really old movie. I heard that's a classic though. It is a classic. We look up seven samurai just so I can make sure that movie exists. It does. It does. Harry. I've seen this. This is a. It was a classic one. Harry. Wow. Good for you. It was Tom Cruz in this. Yes. Yeah. He plays one of the seven. He plays. He plays a white. This is like in a black and white movie. Harry. I watched the movie that Ron was telling us about the prison one that you thought might be gay. Yeah. Of course. What was that called again? I don't know, but there was an hint of gayness. Well, there was you glossed over it. Waste man. Waste man. Yeah. It looks super gay. His son is a gymnast. Gay. Is you guys are both watching this? It's a single movie. Oh, okay. I thought it was a show. I was like, what the fuck? I watched it on the plane. I watched it on the plane too. It's great. And he said he said it's great. It's great. Is it gay? No. The sun. The sun's gay. I think so. He's not out. Yeah. I'm fine with that. But that's just because he's not like you live in a poor rough part of England, where that wouldn't be. You know, once he gets older, he'll come out. Yeah. Yeah. No, I like that. I mean, you think they'll make another one a sequel. Gay man. Waste man. Waste man. Like W.A. I.S.D. Waste man. No, it was it was very good, very interesting character development. No gay shit. Just an enthralling movie and it made me feel good that Francis liked it and had so such glowing things to say about it. And I just think you'd really like it. I'm giving you a second recommendation of the same thing. I'm not going to watch it. You could watch if you watch Gilbert Gray. I'll watch I'll watch Waste man. But this is good. And you're telling me the one you want me to watch sucks. Well, Gilbert Gray is definitely better than Waste man. I don't know. There's no way. I don't know about that. I think it probably is. Gilbert Gray. Well, Waste man, it has high marks on Rotten Tomatoes, 100%. What's Gilbert Grape got? Probably not 100%. What's Gilbert Gray? But I feel like when something has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, what is the grape tomatoes? Grape tomatoes. You got to click through it's 90. 90. That's not a hundred. I mean 90, but it's been out for 30 plus years. Okay. So that's a lot. There's been a lot of time for people like Rowan to come in and say, lift it up. You know, bring it down. Bring it down. Yeah. So I think that goes to show how long it's held up. I don't think about it. How does it has the movie ends? I have no idea. Does he get the girl? Does the kid die? Do they cure him? I don't know. No. No. Of that. They didn't have that. Oh, they don't have that now. Still. Are you sure? For what grapes got? The thing with like Leo Gilbert. Well, the thing with like, is he the Gilbert? Is he's the titular character? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. I mean, the thing with like movies like this is like, they never really like specify what's wrong with the kid. Yeah. Like, it's like they don't it's not like he has like down syndrome. He's just like, he doesn't have cerebral pals. No, he's just like fucked up. But like, it's true. Like they really never hurt his garden for us. Yeah, he has this like vague. Yeah. Special. Let's be honest. It was the 90s back then. It was a one size fits all type thing. Yeah. Yeah. Because I always wondered like what it was that they, that he has. That's why when RFK is always like in the 90s. he's like, you didn't see that many people that had like autism. And yeah, it's just because like now it's a more broad term where it's like, in the 90s, it was only recognized if it was like, this guy's so fucked up, we have to make a movie about it. Yeah. Yeah. Also, it's like radio. It's like, what does he have? Correct. Also, like, you know, when people had those handicaps, right, they didn't treat, they didn't have special medicine for each. No. No. They just kept them inside. Yeah. You know, it was like, you were autistic in the 90s, then you're like, that's probably what Gilbert Gray has in this movie, it's just like autism. They just like didn't know like how to actually like describe it accurately. Right. No. And just gave him a pack of baseball cards. He would have solved it all. I would say now, now that we've kind of broken down and there's more familiarity with the different types of autism of all like mental spectrum disorders, mental health, mental whatever, all these things, they think there's more respect for them. Like, I would say autism, people really respect it. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Yeah. Autism, 100%. Autism is king. Because they, they are the ones that have like superpowers. Yeah. I mean, some of them for sure. There's a 60 minutes about it, get like kind of like lame superpowers though, or it's like I know every plant. No, that's sweet. Oh, come on. Have you seen the kid that does the bird calls? That's sweet. No. But it would rather be like, oh, yeah. I'm autistic. My superpower is like, I can predict the stock market with 100% accuracy. Well, that's the math ones and that's all that's a lot, a lot of them do have the math. Oh, okay. They get the math. Like the guy in a big short, who like Michael, you're in a bunch of it. Michael Barry. The big short. Didn't you just watch that for the moment? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Someone was one of my buddies. Go on, bro. I'm not your buddy. It's another name for Joey Swoll. (laughs) The big short. The big short. The big short. But Christian Bales character is that type of autism that you want. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. He does. Christian Bales character. So good and that. Yeah. But he's like, he's got that cool autism. There was a guy on 60 minutes who you could, they took him on a helicopter ride over a city and he drew like everything that he had seen on like this huge panorama with like every window detailed. Yeah. That's not necessarily useful. But that is like a super power. It's pretty cool. Yeah. It's pretty cool. And like they just put gober grape and a helicopter. Yeah. You know. What do you guys think's wrong with me? I've come to realize there's definitely something. You think so? You have, man. What are the diet or what are the symptoms that you're noticing? I don't even really know, but this morning I was like, what's going on? Why am I here? Like, how is this still my fucking reality? How am I still like excited about my coffee cups and, you know, I mean, I think everyone is. No. We're all going to die. I think regardless. So there's no point in like I'm kind of on the mindset of like, you just got to let shit happen for now because we're done. You told me yesterday it was fine. We're done. You're what changed? Everything. Nothing else. Nothing new has happened there. I think another person died. No, he didn't. No one. No, they did. From what? Why are you saying they didn't from the Russian plague? What's that? You're not online. No. I don't know. I don't know. You're not. Like, you won't know about the Russian plague until it's like eating your balding. Oh. So it's like your door. Yeah. You're like one of those people where there's like a tornado in town. You're just like going for a run on the ground and see the fucking thing coming to hell. There's some, there's some outbreak of a pneumonic plague. Is this what I have? Yeah. Honestly, I mean, you could. You were just out on, you were just over that way. Check if having like 28 mouth ulcers is a symptom of the Russian plague. This is what we're saying. You just came back from the east. You have mono. No, I don't have mono telling you you did. You did. No. You don't. I got do it. You wish. Right on your leap. From you. I have do it from that god damn sushi restaurant. You wish you have no mouth ulcers are not a typical symptom of the plague. Oh. Well, this is the new one now, but they're talking about the pneumonic plague. A pneumonic plague. Yeah. Apparently there was a, apparently there was a leak at the plague, at the plague hospital in Russia. They got one of those over there. It was a woman. She had just bought a tray for Japan. She had a fresh cocktail tray of fucking plague, and she's like, whoa, like fucking three stooges character. I don't understand how that happened. So like, yeah, well, yeah, there was a, there was a leak in the, in the plague serum that we had lying around. It's like, well, why did you have it in the first place? Well, we do need to study these things because they're going to use it. No. In case they, in case, didn't you ever see World War Z? Yeah. Of course. That's a great movie. It is. They're making a sequel finally after all these years. Oh, really? Yeah. Interesting. A. Yeah. World War A. They're going back to the beginning. It's actually pretty cool. Did you ever see a contagion? Yeah. Yeah. I was just thinking about that the other day. That's a good one. You ever see that one around? No, what is it? It's a pandemic movie. Really? It's a pandemic. It's how Matt Damon reacts when his wife dies. Oh, yeah. The doctor tells him that he's like, I'm really sorry, but that was the thing we could do. And she's dead. And she's like, and he goes, okay, so, so when can I see her? And he's like, I understand that this is a tough thing. He's like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? No, how is my wife dead? Do you remember? Do you remember the doctor tells him that he was that his wife was also having an affair? Yeah. And he kind of knew. So he kind of knew. So he wasn't that upset, which I thought was pretty good. He's acting from Damon. Yeah. He's the best. Damon. He's my fucking guy. Oh, yeah. I like that. He's so mean. He's just all class. He's all class. He's one of the guys who's never really had a dip. No. No. Very consistent. He picks his rolls. Picks his rolls carefully. He does well. Don't just see him and everything. What? Let's buy a zoo. Was that him? We bought a zoo. That's a tear jerker. That's a good one. Yeah. I mean, no way Damon reads we bought a zoo and like gets the end of the script. And it's like, I'm going to do some bullshit. No. It's probably we bought a zoo is a great movie. Yeah. Have you seen it? No. Jeez. Have you seen, do you have a TV? I just watched my movies on Delta Plates. I'll watch the fucking. Are you stuck on picture mode? Art mode. It's coming as still. This contagion coming to still photograph. Or I can digest the entire thing. I'm watching movies on one frame per second. Could you get it into a thousand words? I think I saw around the time I was I had to choose between we bought a zoo and life of pie. Oh, pie instead. Probably a better choice. It was great. I've never seen that one actually. What? No way. I haven't seen a movie. I've seen. You have the fuck is happening. You haven't seen anything. You haven't seen life. You haven't seen we bought a zoo. Or Gilbert Gray. Or Gilbert Gray. I just haven't been a child at the same time as you. I don't know about all that. Gilbert Gray came out when you literally were a child. Bro, there's some people we should talk to about this. My kids. You were under 18. What's Gilbert Gray? You and my kids should maybe just link up and like talk about. Bluey. Ron, how close are we to talking to your kids? Like how close are we to like having a conversation? Just in the last couple weeks they're like hitting sentences. Yes. Like requests and shit. Really? Yeah. It's actually the rate at that this part is happening is fucking freaking me out. It's quick. They have the Russian plague of the mountains. Yeah. They're developing it fast. Yeah. They're just one of them counted to 20. They're like making the asks to say to 20. Yes. What? I was like, what's happening? I was like, 18. 17. He's like, 18. I was like, what? I don't think I knew what 18 was. Until I was 10. He's like age of consent. You got to know it. You got to teach him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, I think it'll happen before, uh, before you know it. Oh man. Social beings. They grow up so fast. That's going to be crazy. It's fucking sick. You know they start speaking. They grow up so fast unless you don't have them. Yeah. That's true. Is what I've learned. Because everyone talks about how like everyone I know is like, I can't believe it. I can't believe how quickly, you know, the kids blink of an eye. Like you blink. Yeah. They're, it's like, well, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not really growing up at all right now. I'm completely stuck in a developmental sort of quagmire. I don't really know how to put it. I really haven't flipped the hourglass yet. No. It's like the time starts, the sand starts moving when you flip the hourglass. And that's your call when you do that. But that's sand doesn't start going until sand will still until you flip it. Right now the hourglass is just lying on its side. There's no sand moving in either direction. I'm in the doldrums. There's no wind in my sails. You're in no kids land. And I got to stop. I got to figure something out. What advice would you give him? I'm not enjoying this at all. You're hearing his problem. What advice would you tell him? Are you happy? Harry? I'm always happy, come on, you know me. Um, well, what's the problem? You want, you want kids to be our glasses on the side? Something's got to change. I mean, I would just get a PC, honestly, is that it? Yeah, I thought about that. By the way, I wanted to find a really sick gaming store. I thought about trying to get the lightest mouse that has ever been made. I got it, brother. Well, I kind of thought like there's no chance I'm going to get that right. There's nothing I can add to your setup correctly that would like, there's not thread the needle of, there's nothing you could add to my setup. That would do anything good for me. But I bet you there are things in Japan that you've never even seen. Oh, no, of course. I mean, I'm always looking for a new toy, but you couldn't get it for it. I kind of know, no, I think you could get it for it. I'm just saying like I'm so bad at video game is that like there's nothing that can save me at this point. Oh, that's how I feel about my life. You could get up. You could get a mouse that literally has no weights. There's no, it doesn't weigh anything, and I would still lose every game, right? Yeah, you could put the Neuralink chip in the brain. Yeah, you would need a mouse. You just have a live starting. Yeah, it still wouldn't do it. I think that maybe it was Japan a soul searching trip. Was it like, uh, you're like, oh, maybe I'll make this my personality for the next little bit. It's a good point. The problem is though, you already, you got good at golf. Like that's a lot of guys. Yeah, I think you just need another hobby hit an age and they just get really good. It's something, you know, I'm done enough with the hobbies. I think you that's what you need the hobbies. It's just been one hobby after. At some point, you got to like take it a lifelong hobby. Like golf is a good hobby. Having kids like you're, you've like maxed out your damn near maxed out your ability at golf. Yeah, I agree. You know, I agree with that. It's not like you're going to be like, oh, I'll go pro. No, and, and, and if I were to be the guy that all of a sudden plays every day, I just think I would, I know I would get sick of that. I'm not the gains are so infinitesimal at this point that I'm not enjoying the sense of improvement. It's so you need a new set. No, no, no, no, my iron is that dialed right now. That's what it's, that's like, that's the perfect time to switch it all out. I'm also, it's a good point, Ron, because the golf season is coming to an end. And I put so much stock into that through the summer and through the season, that now that that chapter is closing and golf courses are shutting down for the winter. I'm like, you're lost. I just, I'm left with nothing. Well, why don't we get back on the slopes a little bit? Okay, I agree. That's, yeah. Yeah. Okay, okay. Do you want to ski at all in New York? No, is there like anywhere good to ski? They say Hunter mountains pretty good. Are you about to get back on the slopes? Oh, I mean, I'm always looking to get back on the slopes, but I haven't been able to in the last last time I went skiing was probably four years ago. That's going to be your new fishing, your new golf ski week. I've got skis and my parents house. Great, great set of skis, twin tips, because anyone needs to go backwards. I bought them when I was younger. I got to stop going backwards. I was a younger boy when I was going backwards. My whole life is setting the wrong direction. I don't even know if I can go forward anymore. Like I was going, last time I skied, I forgot how like, uh, tiring it is. Like your legs. My legs were shaking when I got to the bottom. After one run, yeah, oh boy, it's like holy shit. Hey, but it was also because the, uh, the boots I was wearing were three sizes too small. I have to think you spend washing my feet. I think you spend a lot of your life seated. I think your legs are atrophying the way that they do people wheelchairs. No, no, no, no, if you I'm 10,000 steps a day. If you wore on average, we would see your legs and be like, oh boy, I've worn shorts. Pretty, this is probably one of the few times I've worn pants. Do you have splints on under those? You got splints on? I do not know. Okay, now, do you? I mean, I've wear splints. Oh, what are those shoes? What do you see, bro? New gear. Do you like what you see? What brand is that? It's a sketchers. No, but of course, oh really? I think it's a Solomon card heart thing. Oh, shit, you think like that's a common collab. Yeah, so I'm shit like, yeah, I think it's like Solomon and Supreme. I don't know, but, uh, I am, I am like, uh, I can't believe I spent a year wearing white solomans. Why? Just because Solomon's like, is a hiking shoe. So, but like hiking in white is like, anti, like, that's like, I don't know. Doesn't make sense. I can't, hiking in white. I would hike in white shoes. I think it's right for them to be dark because of that whole Bible thing that's about them. What King Solomon, Gora, King Solomon, Gora, I would want, I mean, like, I think they're, I like having a little scuffed up white shoe on a hike. Why? I don't know. Why would you? Why would, why would it matter if your shoes are getting scuffed up on a hike? I'm just saying dark shoes can, can handle a hike a little bit better. Hmm. When was the time you hiked? I like all the time. Are you kidding me? Really? Before I, before I got, when I, before I went under the knife, I was an avid hikesman. Really? Oh, yeah. What are your top five peaks? Rainier, of course. Of course, it's a classic. Washington, Washington, you didn't hike Washington. Of course I did. When, when have I, you didn't hike down Washington. The valley back in Valley Green in the Philadelphia area. Okay. It's a run Valley Green. I'm going to Hill Valley Green in Hill. I don't know how to call that a peak. It sounds like it's the valley. Actually, more of a plateau. It's just a straight downhill. Oh, okay. Yeah. It's a trail. You fool. So not really a hike. I'm talking about like, what are your best like peaks? Do you think just because you had fucking backward skis, so you could glide up a mountain backwards that you're, you're a hiker. Brother, I did it. I did. I hiked this summer in Wyoming. You went on a hike this six miles. That's not that great. Six miles one way, bro. 12 mile total. You just added that. No, I didn't. I finally remember three three. No, because it took us. No, it was. You're a very slow walker. That's why I took a long time. A 12 mile hike is no joke. If that's what you did, that's at 60 pound bag on my back. Keep in mind. Yeah. Wow. I'm pretty sure it was. How do we even get here? I was trying to let me check my all trails account. Let me know and you want to check yours or do you not have one? Your all trails account has cobwebs.

Don't kill yourself. Asap was a weekend project that is probably coming to an end. Yeah, because it exists. It doesn't, though. What are you going to say to exist with CityMapper? I don't know. Not you don't even know. You don't even see anything familiar with the competing apps. There are competing apps that just describe what it is. And we'll type that description in. And we'll see if there's an app that already has that exact description. There isn't. There's apps that make it so that you can plan a trip with multiple modes of transportation. Like I'm going to take the train or walk to this and take a bike. But there's none that are going to tell you the fastest possible. As a stakeholder, I'm just warning you that there's one. There's an app that exists as asap. If there was an app that existed, I would have you been using it. There's apps were done. There could not have been more people who DM'd. If someone were to make an asap that you've made asap. It had already been made. If you were, if you made asap, you would have made asap. I'm not saying that I made asap, but someone far smarter than we are did. And what's it called? Francis is a shareholder. He wouldn't like try to tear down his wound. Well, he's literally trying to kill the. kill the company as we I'm saying we need to pivot lots of lots of great businesses started as one thing and then pivoted when they saw the Amazon originally Amazon originally was porn what was Netflix Netflix also porn streaming porn started is porn me you need to get to your porn phase so you can become something else as we pivot into porn right I'm not trying to get into that business why I'm much more equipped for the navigation business or what if we what if we just pivot straight to like you know we could do is we could pivot straight to like NFL or football teaching films and we could call it a gap yeah a guy that sounds like that could be more of a you guys thing or what about the porn start to do porn we could do a game or or a fax a fax pretty good I don't want to be able to porn website purse though there's already plenty of those out there what a porn aggregator that shows you how to bust the quickest yeah that puts together the like the exact amount of videos that'll have you coming and getting on with your day I mean I'm sure you'll be able to like ask Claude do that for you any day now Claude make me come now Claude make me come but I only have about five minutes until I have to leave so I have two minutes and 35 seconds to make it becoming fewer than three videos I've water boiling can I come for the water boils did you guys see the people the the website that's making like AI influencers where it's just like fake influencers yeah my question with that is does someone have to tell that influencer what to do yeah I think so someone has to program it and it's basically just like a program and they just have to write a prompt right or like but it's like like a cartoon basically yeah pretty much it's like so there has to be a script writer so like these are auto automating well I don't know because I think some of them are automatic are just doing trends like the most popular trends on like TikTok so you could hypothetically just get it to auto create videos with whatever trends are trending I have seen that but I since there is like just somebody behind the scenes that's doing it I don't think that it's that big of a deal I think far bigger deal is the people who are making AI comedians that are just stealing other comedians acts and just oh yeah now there's like a girl with like a 42 inch ass six pack telling like some shlubby fucking pacie Irish guys joke yeah I saw that too it's pretty crazy did you see this Francis no I've been perfect time to get out of standup because AI because bucks some AI is taking over at the AI I know it is insane the bus the AI woman now has a serious XM channel or something like that Sebastian gave her a channel Sebastian gave this girl channel and all the working comics have been kicked off because this smoking hot AI woman is going to do all the radio now if you honestly just look up AI standup comedy girl big ass it'll come up because her ass is like she's not like it's like unrealistically big she's doing George Carlin bits on serious XM now this isn't are these her because she's much more realistic don't be afraid don't be afraid to type it in don't be afraid to turn it off safe search I know she's not coming up yeah so anyways there's this girl but I don't even know if she's re is she a real person I think a real real only yeah yeah so she's stealing people's bits with AI putting herself on stage doing these jokes but then like she's actually like a porn star so I think that this is going to lead to a regulation I viral AI generated Tiffany Sloan yeah I have seen this girl did you know she was AI I mean that's literally helium on the left isn't it yeah that is yeah isn't that Sacramento they took the guys oh I have the guy the one left there there's a guy who tells that same joke in the same outfit and basically really I mean not like obviously yeah like a slubby version of an outfit imagine seeing that imagine seeing this lady and then you yeah that car oh my god oh my god is it Sacramento can't tell so she's not actually on stage no she's not but I don't think she exists no I thought she's just oh yeah yeah yeah yeah only fans model and then they're they're like okay I want to steal some people's jokes so she's the one orchestrating this or did someone or was there some weird comedy porn fan who is like sick of watching these things separately no I think she's I don't want to jump back and forth between the two windows yeah I think that she is just viciously jerking off and hysterically laughing God I love my life that's the future that is going to cause like vicious addiction yeah oh for sure the same time just hitting the weed pen jerking off to your AI comedian it's like the it's like a pleasure version of that guy that plays 12 instruments at the same time awkward like there's a harmonica pen that's just hitting as a flashlight just goes like this we need to create that product ASAP should be pivoting to like the 12 the the multi instrument yeah I like that it's just the worst thing ever created yeah with the pleasure like yeah do you think that so that's going to result in like massive dips into sadness once you're jerking off and oh yeah definitely that can't last the body isn't equipped to create that much no no it's too much dopamine that's being released I think you're honestly I think you're out of dopamine by like noon these days that's probably your problem I don't remember the last time I had no no no I'm out you know no I thought you're hopeless don't you sleep with the phone outside of the you don't bring the phone into the bedroom that's right still you still doing that yeah there's nobody's gonna call it's journeyed into the bedroom a couple times no has to know I promise you I won't allow I won't sleep if it's in there that is that is a good point I've picked up that habit and it makes getting up waking up easier to sure does because then you're like I'm not gonna just languish in bed and look at my phone I gotta get to my phone yeah I saw I saw a club of Denzel Washington saying in an interview like do everything you can once you wake up to not look at your phone for at least half of that and I do that did I get sunlight in the morning very important like right when you wake up interesting they say right when you wake up if you can get if you can get in direct sunlight do you do your Denzel brother we haven't got that in a while I don't have one right now I haven't seen a Denzel in a minute really yeah you've been watching Gilbert Grape and fucking let's buy a zoo and I can't give you my Gilbert Grape to controversial yeah have you guys did I tell you guys that I lost my iPad on a Delta flight no did you get it back well I did to find my iPhone my iPad and I it was when I flew home from Vegas I left it on the plane oh so then I I didn't realize this for days yeah and then finally I was like where the hell's my iPad and I did find my on my phone and it was that Logan in Boston oh shit so it's still on the plane well no then I called Delta Diamond of course of line yeah and I said what's going on here and they said it was probably taken to one of our hubs Boston is a hub for Delta were you just in Boston I was yeah I could have picked it up I should have so then I filled out this thing that it was like my this is a lost machine if you find it please call this number or whatever and did that on my iPad and then I filled out you got another iPad no I'm sorry you got multiple iPads on the screen of my lost iPad do you mind I'm just I mean how you gotta do that if you don't let me finish I don't know what I'll do I would love to go to your apartment and you have iPads in just every room well anyway the point is that I'm getting it back I don't care I don't care and nor should anyone I'm getting it back Delta is getting it back to me I'm getting it back but by the way I did an alert you know I made it I made it I made it chime oh yeah and on the screen it says like it found please I had written a message that was like this is lost please oh wow like call this number I'll pay a reward and I made it chime and then it showed me that someone had picked it up looked at it I don't know if they looked at it picked it up and then put it back down weird it was like this iPad was just accessed but then three days later Delta hit me they were like a device matching your description has been found and then I pay for the shipping and it's come Oh nice. No reward. Well, I guess the shipping is the reward. So FedEx collects the reward pretty much. They're getting the reward. I lost a pair of sunglasses in Tokyo while I was getting my iPad back. One out one in. Oh, well, they're nice sunglasses. Yeah, the nicest ones I have. Oh, well, can you get them shipped from Tokyo? I don't know where they are. What are the Jacques Marie-Mâge? Exactly. And they're out of the duolipa restaurant. Yeah, you're going to see a duolipa on a photo dump wearing your sunglasses. Imagine. Yeah, telling comedy on a stage, telling one of your jokes in one of your sunglasses. Gen Z is gaslighting. That was the chief diamond medallion on Delta. If duolipa does that. So what's going on with Sebastian Minascalco? Why has everybody mad at him? Well, there's a I guess there's a channel on serious that like plays comedians. Yeah, raw dog tapes. I had, and I'm not making this up. I had sent, I had submitted for that a long, long time ago. And this last year for the first time, I got royalty payments for it. Guess how much I got paid? $1,000. $7.89. Oh, shit. That's not great. I mean, I think that means they played like three seconds of a clip and then they were like, no, take it down. Pull it from the station. Everyone just shut off their radio through out the window. We just lost 7,000 subscriptions were canceled. Five seconds into listening to this raw dog clip of France to sell us. $7 doesn't buy you anything. No, seven or a cup of coffee. Yeah. It's $7. A cup of black coffee is $7. Definitely. And Sebastian's taking that from you. He's taking coffee out of your kids' mouths. I guess stop reminding me that I don't have children. I was never on this mix tape, but not that I would have anything to be on there. But apparently, yeah, apparently people were like, people that are on it a lot, they'd make like a good amount of money, like a couple of 100 bucks, a month, 500 bucks a month, something like that. And then Sebastian bought it and just just made it filled it with sand. Well, no, I mean, he filled it with better tapes, essentially. Like you just put in like various established comedians. So people are pretty much like, he probably also established means better to you. No, I guess not. But holy shit. I guess, I mean, the thing is there's still a lot of comedians on it. I think there's still like 200 or something. Yeah. So there were 800. Yeah. So he caught a lot of the people and then he put in more successful comedians. And he put in a lot, he's he's playing a lot of like classic comedians. Many of who have died. Yeah. Yeah. Like really old comedians. Yeah, George Carlin and Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce, etc. So he he shut down like the college radio station to make it a pop radio station. Pretty much. Or even more like a classics. Yeah. I think that's what it is. Classics like a classics age. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. I mean, I guess, I mean, yeah, I guess he kind of fucked over like 500 comedians. Yeah. I think it probably just people are just pissed that it's he's a comedian doing that. Yeah. I mean, it is a little bit of a weird move for a while. I'm sure he just didn't even realize that that was going to be a consequence of that. Yeah, probably not. But I don't know. I heard about this before it was happening before like there's going to be a big push to like call him out. I think that if a consulting firm came in and did that, it would be like, okay, well, they would be like, okay, there's more going to there's going to be more Joan Rivers and George Carlin on. Yeah, I think it's like serious. Just made that decision. Exactly. It's just the fact that he's a comedian. I think that people are probably pissed off that. But I mean, if you look for it, if you're a comedian and you just lost 500 comedians money, yeah, that's kind of a tough look. Yeah. But also especially when it's like, I don't know what he's gaining from it. If the, if the channel does weigh better though with 300 as opposed to 800. But like how much better will it do? Like I can't imagine there's going to be people now subscribing to serious, like, think of this holy shit. Thank God that random comedian from the sellers out, nor I get to listen to Joan Rivers. Normand positive in a clip that I saw from him that by them doing a lot of these dead comedians, they don't have to pay royalties to those people. And cutting from 800 to 300 means they're paying 500 fewer people royalties for the spin. But so even that like, so like how much of money could it possibly be that like, if there's, if say half of the comedians on their can't get royalties because they're dead, which is probably more than are actually dead, then what Sebastian's making an extra like 10k a month. There's no way to know the metrics of yeah, because I'm just want to like, because I wouldn't have thought that Sebastian Manescalco buying a serious XM channel would have been a lucrative decision at all. I just don't know why he would, like, I don't know what the, I doubt he bought a channel. I bet he's getting paid to have a channel. Yeah, maybe it's like Sebastian's picks. Yeah. Because there's like a Bruce Springsteen channel on serious. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't like, I don't know. Like unless it's like getting him like 100 million dollars or some shit, like, I was like, no, this has real fucking money. Well, I know they gave like Alex Cooper all that money. Just pay the giggly squad girls like 120 million or something. Yeah, so maybe they're getting, maybe they just made them a shit ton of money. Do you ever see the giggly squad girls fucking driving in Lamborghini's on two wheels and Dubai and be like, I should have gone on summer house. You don't ever think that? I just think that if I'd gone on summer house, I would have been like a one and done kind of guy. I think I would have been a one season and done. No, you would have like a falcon on your arm with like a shake from Abu Dhabi. Yeah. You'd be at your house in Tokyo. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be cool. You just go back and buy the sunglasses factory out of if you don't one season of summer house, a fucking print money over there. What is the point where you get to with your podcast where you got a hundred million dollars? Well, you take where we're at and you multiply it by a hundred million. Then you're there. Like, I just feel like we can't be that much smaller than giggly squad. Are you out of your god for the money difference to be a hundred and fifty million dollars? That's all the money. But there's something about women that can that can trick you into buying something. That is true. They're the trickiest gender that they can just trick you into buying something and like the woman's like, I got this blanket and you're going to be like, I fucking need that. Yeah. Yeah, they do. Something about us that we just can't trick you into buying a blanket. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The thing is though, we can. Francis is one of the most marketable men. Oh, yeah. And that's hard to believe. I don't know. It's true though. It's true though. Brances, they call him. They call me Brances. But for whatever reason, giggle. And the difference is they went on summer house and Francis decided not to. Yeah. We would all be we all had we had a shot. We would all be we had a real shot at that one. Yeah. We would be so 50 each 50 a piece. All you had to do was go on summer house. I mean, you probably would have 50 kids right now if you went on summer house. You'd be on one of those like family compounds. Yeah. I want to take the golf card over to my youngest house. Living like Anthony Edwards. That is a dream. That could be you. I'm fucking pissed. I gotta get on summer house. So bad. You should. They probably have a couple openings. They probably have a couple spots. Probably, yeah. We're Southern Charlie on GLP ones too. No, you need to get on the show. Joey Swolve. You need to see if Joey Swolve will donate his body to science and then see if like he has one more hard incident. If you could just move into the body like a hermit crab. Yeah. Just a perfect transition. Yeah. If you just scuttle in there. Yeah. Put my brain into Swolves frame and see if I could get on summer house so I can get a 150 mil. I would do a full swap. I think if you became a full AI influencer, that'd be good too. I mean, I could try it. Just put a girl put that girl's body on your jokes. Maybe I'll try it. I'm going to put my face on that influencer creator app. Francis, I think something that could cure your ails is opening a boutique bakery. Mm-hmm. I think where you would have to get up at your normal four o'clock hour and just fucking bake for six hours because you could perfect something. You could get like your kitschy small town itch. Yeah. And then you could also it would be more than a hobby. You know what? It's weird. I don't feel sad or I don't feel depressed. I just feel like totally confused about what to do. I think I've voiced this before and I don't even care like I don't need this to get into it or solve it. I just I just look around sometimes at like what I'm doing and I'm like, what a fucking waste of time. Do you ever feel that way, Harry? Never. Everything you do is intentional and making progress. Yes. That's not true. Well, I try to do as little as I can. So when I do things, it's very intentional. I love that. What a great philosophy. It's not about adding more. It's about taking things away. So the things become really, really like you lower your standard for yourself. Exactly. So that like if you do one thing a day, all of a sudden, you've had a big day. Oh, yeah. You do your one thing and you're like, I am gassed. Are you? How many waking hours do you have? Because I worry there'd be too many hours of me in the day of being awake. That I um, I mean, I wake up around like eight or nine and I go to bed around midnight, to 2 a.m. Well, you don't sleep that much. No. I guess, I don't know midnight to eight eight hours. That's fine. Nine hours. Yeah. That's plenty. It's usually somewhere between six to eight hours. Well, that's not so bad. Yeah. It's not too good, though. I think you could do better. I'm fine with it. I think a little bit more rest would help you out. Me and Gary Vee can function off of minimal sleep. Don't even put yourself in the same sentence as V. Why? You're just not a couple go hards. I mean, Gary Vee would tell you you're just a baby right now. I mean, I am. Yeah. Roads my oyster, but you're Gary Vee before he even became Gary Vee basically. Roads my massive oyster, my massive sliced in half oyster. I looked up fishing stores in Tokyo. There were two or three of them and they had some fly fishing stuff. And I wanted to see if they had, you know, gear that was specific to Japan, but it just looked like they sold all the regular stuff. Yeah. I don't know how big fly fishing is out there. I think there's fly fishing in Japan really. I think so. Probably not in Tokyo, but no, no, if you get out there not too far out. Yeah, that'll be sick. They probably have nice rivers. I don't even want to fish. They got out there. I think a massive failing of Tokyo is not having more infrastructure built on that nice river that they have or they or whatever the fuck it is. The one that has all the cherry blossom trees on it. Oh, that one's nice. But I'm saying the one that the like main riverway that I can downtown. Yeah, or is that a, is that a Bayer river, whatever? I think they should build it up like Chongqing. Is that in China that have all the shit on the river? It should be like Chongqing. Just like shoes really to say Chongqing. If you know what I mean by there. Okay, guys, let's take a second and talk about our friends at Fab Lettics.

I mean, I think it's just hard to focus with the Russian plague, making its way overseas. As we speak, right, right. I don't have anything bad. I would love a good quarantine. I think it was it would be fun. But I think that we're at the point where so many people had such an adverse reaction to the aftermath of the last one where they're like, what like they were fucking dooping us. That if another one happened, there'd be so many people who were like, I'm not falling for that shit again. Yeah. And then they'd be just outside no matter what. Yeah, I think you're right. The death toll. But what if I mean, they're saying this one would have a zero percent survival rate. Like what if it was that? Do you think we would have to like, would you go inside or would you go back out? I'll go to Francis's upstage spot with my children. I don't really. Francis, where would you go? Um, I don't really need to live that much longer. Oh, man, come on. But the world ends. Yeah. What am I hanging on for if there's a zero percent survival rate? You know, what's the point of my coffee at that point? Yeah. If I mean, if it's truly a zero percent survival rate, then I think like, there's not really any point in quarantining. Yeah. Like we're fucked. No, there's always a survival rate is zero percent of the, if it's untreated. Oh, okay. And they already have the treatment. I think it's just like antibiotics. Oh, shit. Okay. So it seems like this will be pretty manageable. Then I'm staying out. Just take an antibiotic. You're good. I think Francis will be probiotic. So yeah, I think if you just have some kimchi, you'll be good. If you drink the mother, I think that Francis, if you got into like an I am legend situation, that might be really nice. Like the, we just hear like the dust of the storms whipping through a decrepit city. And then in the background, it's just you like grinding up some coffee beans or something before you go out and be nice, walk your German shepherd. That'd be sick. Maybe I think that what's the downside? Loneliness, but you already have that. Yes, but well, we do with the podcast. Like what we do remote or what? Like if there was up, if we had to all leave because of the plague, we're just having in. Guys asks, no, we still, we would all still come in. We'd go what we'd come in. We would still have to come in. Interesting. So I don't know if I love that. Why? I mean, if we're quarantining, I'm not trying to be coming in. So we'll do it in a story. You're not coming into my place with your germs. I'm coming into your place. No, you're not. Yes. I want to promote brother. I'm coming to a story. We're going to move the podcast remote for the time being just until the plague kind of calms down. Okay. Just looking at these pants, what percentage do you think is wool versus cashmere? I'm giving you. I don't know. I have two. I'm going to go 50, 50 from no touching. You got to just look. I'm going 50. You got to eyeball them. It's wool and cashmere. That's 60, 40 cashmere to wool. I think it's 53, 47, which more, more wool than cashmere, I smoked you. You don't even know pants. Those are the thickest corduroy's I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, the tracks are a little stripes. It's like if this were pasta, it'd be too thick. Yeah. Yeah, it's all made pasta. It's not angel hair. It's in the big fat. That's down there. Root on noodles, devil, devil's tail pasta. Yeah, that's thick as hell. I would love that, except if you fall asleep on that. Now you can give them a feel. Feel those pants. That's so nice. That's Japanese. That's not what you thought it was. Is it? No, it's not. It's soft as hell. Harry, get over. I already felt earlier. They didn't. Yeah. Come on. I've got my hands on them. This is part of the game. All right. I've been thinking about getting into the like performance art world or like art world. Oh, yeah, sure. I know my first exhibit is going to be called macro plastic. Oh, it is going to be like people wearing like shirts that are like fully made of like plastic, not just like a little bit of plastic, but just like a fucking full Lego top shirts and skirts. I think that it could fucking go nuclear in the art world. I like that. Fuck with that. I don't like like that Kanye West music video. Well, so this was done before this was done. I was sort of going to say. I don't know what sounds a little bit like the derelict show from Zoolander. Yeah, like this from no, that ain't plastic. I'm talking about plastic. What do you think that is? That's not plastic that has a soft fabric feel. That's probably like a probably has a soft fabric feel on the outside. But what do you think it's all fabric? That's probably like a 63 to couch on him, 37 blend. I would assume that's mostly a plastic shell. I'm talking about something that's actually plastic on the outside that's shiny plastic. So pretty much as this with no fabric on the outside. I'm talking like Twiggy 60s inspired British looking PVC pipe clothing. So like this, but with no fabric on the outside. Yeah, basically. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. What are you guys going to be for Halloween? I don't know. Calvin and Hobbs probably probably Calvin and Hobbs. Both that's the two of you together. Or we're all Hobbs, Hobbs and Hobbs and Hobbs. We should do episode Hobbs and Hobbs and Hobbs. We're like, what if we did like Hobbs and Shaw, but it was like instead of the guys from Fast and Furious, one of them is from Calvin and Hobbs. Oh, I like that. So it's like Vin Diesel and Hobbs from Calvin and Hobbs. I mean, I would definitely do three Calvin's, three Hobbs, maybe one Calvin, two Hobbs, two Hobbs, one Calvin. I'm really fine with any mix. All right, how about Calvin, Hobbs and Shaw? Okay, who's Shaw Francis? All right, and who's Calvin and who's Hobbs? I'll be sure. I got to watch Hobbs and Shaw. Hopefully I watch that on the flight to England. Shaw Swole. Shaw, Shaw rule. That'll be nice. I, uh, I got back to church this weekend. It was so nice. Oh, yeah. That's about time. Love that. Love that for you. I'm meeting to talk to you about that. Yeah, I know. Well, your silence has been deafening up to this point. Yeah, but it was the feast of St. Francis. We've been waiting for you. Yeah, I saw you guys both there kept you warm, kept you warm. You guys were singing in the choir up in the, uh, galley, but it was the feast of St. Francis of a sissy. Yeah. Are you familiar with him? I sure am. Francis of a sissy. Do you know about him? That's the man for whom I was named for you, actually. Yeah, really? Yeah. Well, my, a friend of mine, my parents, friend had already chosen to name their kid. Francis after St. Francis of a pussy. So I was after Francis of a sissy, a little bit love that more masculine. Yeah, it's a little less on the nose. I didn't know that's where your name came from. Yeah, my name was after my uncle, who was named after probably the same Francis of a sissy. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I mean, it probably definitely comes back to the saying at some point. Francis of a sissy that when you were named Francis in that time, it just meant a guy from France. There's like, Francis is, oh, it means interesting. Francis, really? Yeah. Francis of a sissy. And that's Greek Francis. Yeah, that's Latin origin, an adjective. Yeah, but like someone who's kind of like, kind of like, Francis and that, in that way, it is the perfect name for you. You are Francis. I don't know if I like that. Francis Ellis. Francis. Francis Ellis. You can't be what it's from. It is now. There's no way. Why would the pre-slide church? I don't know. Francis Eilish, Billy's day younger brother. Francis, Francis, they said that Francis of a sissy became a saint just because he was a rich Italian dude and all of his friends like the party. And he just didn't like the party that much. And they're like, these guys are saints. So he is like, I'm going to have to become a saint now. No, they're like, oh my God. He doesn't even like the party that much. You're a fucking saint. Well, that would be that Harry's a saint. Yeah, because he stopped drinking at party. You're basically a saint. But I still party, not really all the time. No, your boys came and you were like, I can't. I'm a saint. When was the last time you partied even a little bit? That's nine. No, you didn't. Yeah, I was partying. No, you weren't. I mean, to find partying, doing cocaine alone last night. It seems like a ketamine is kind of making a big comeback. It wasn't. It wasn't a thing when I was in now. It wasn't a thing when I was either ketamine, it's like all the sudden. It's making a big, big comeback. We're on talk to us a little bit about it. It was a thing when I was here. Was it really existed? I mean, I wouldn't have known like, I would have been afraid to try it. Here's my question, ketamine horse tranquilizer. They mix it with cocaine too. What do they, and they call it something? There's a name for that. How are there that many pills of horse tranquilizer laying around? Like, because if you think about it, like one of them probably equals like 50 lines of ketamine. Like, is there a sackler family for horses? Yeah, definitely. There's just like a sackler family that's pumping out horse tranquilizer. Like, who's, maybe we should crack down on them. So is it like a, is it like a super strong like benzo? Like, is it like if you snorted Xanax or something like that ketamine? Yeah, it's like a side or is it like a psychedelic? No, it kind of just takes like the horizon of the room from here and puts it like right here. Oh, that's cool. It's kind of nice. No, that doesn't just kind of just fucks with your vision a little bit. Yeah, it's just, it's like changes the aspect ratio a little bit. Is there a thing that's what it looks like? Ketamine addict warns of drugs dot, dot, dot ketamine effects used now for as a treatment for depression, psychosis, all these things. And I don't know about all that though. Like, people are like, oh, I did the ketamine treatment. I feel so much better. It's like, yeah, because you're, we were high on drugs. Now, wonder you feel good. I think there's more to it than that. I think on this case that somehow it has been proven to have incredibly efficacious results. But, you know, to your point, who knows? No, no, I do. Did you see Gary Goldman's special, the great depression? I don't think so. That was really good. He talks about how he was like, catatonically depressed. And in the fetal position in his bed, couldn't leave his room for days. Yeah. And went to a hospital like a psych ward, checked himself in his wife, checked him in or whatever. And that he went on a ketamine drip and it like changed his life. Interesting. Maybe it rewires your brain or something. One of those things. I don't know. I've never tried it. I don't really have any plans to it kind of scares the shit out of me. But I was with someone who they're using, they're using 12 light beers for. What? 12 light beers to cure depression too. It's short, it's fast acting, not long-lasting though. He's in a hospital chair. Yeah, you need one more. You've only had 11. A big boy. Finish your beers. I don't know if they should beer. Tilt your head back. Yeah, it works for that for that temporary. Oh, yeah. Or people have it in a nasal spray. I have seen that. That's, yeah, I've heard of that. If they just had cocaine in nasal spray, I think it'd be much more universally acceptable. I've seen that cocaine. It seems like I've seen someone who made a nasal spray that had cocaine in it. Interesting. Yeah, very innovative tech there. Maybe cocaine is like hunting where like it maybe it should be a little bit hard to do. You know what I mean? Yeah. If the meat's just delivered to your doorstep, what's from stopping you from doing like 12 fucking squirts of the nasal spray? Yeah, what if you wake up one day and you have like, you have like a stuffy nose and you're looking for the flones? You're on ketamine and cocaine all of a sudden. Yeah, back in my coke days, you know, what stopped me was I never, I didn't always have like a mirror. Yeah, of course. Or, you know, credit card or whatever. Right. If you only have cash, then you will. I'm going to make one of those like wallets, but like it's going to have like a built-in mirror. For cocaine, it's going to be called Coke Wallet or Swiss Army mirror. Let's pivot ASAP to Coke Wallet. I think that's our new route. All right, everybody. People know how to get where they need to go. What they don't know how to do is cocaine in public in public out of their back pocket. Introducing Coke Wallet, you know, it has like a little like it has like a little hitting compartment for the cocaine. And then it has like a mirror that pops out. Perfect. Yeah. So it's kind of just like your to-go box. I'm sure that's something like that has been invented by like British hooligans. Yeah, soccer fans, probably. I'm also sure that a lot of women's wallets have mirrors in them for like doing makeup. Oh, that's what you know, I have to go back to navigation. Women want you to think that we're getting away from who we truly are here. The women are just doing cocaine as a shareholder. I don't know what happened there. I didn't like private equity got involved. They've taken a different direction, the women are just obsessed with cocaine. We were never in this for money. Yeah, we were in this to change the world. Did I tell you guys that I watched pretty woman and the Empire Strikes Back on the plane over? No, both great movies though. Yeah, what a great. I'd never seen pretty woman. I'd never seen it. Oh, and I've never seen it. I was thinking of a little woman with Timothy Shalamet. Little woman is the one about the the midget prostitute. Right. Who's swall? Yeah. It is a good movie. with a pretty one. It was fantastic. Well, it's that it's Julia Robertson richer gear. She's a she's a hooker. Yeah. Oh, wow. I've never never seen it. I'll have to do that. But he falls in love with her. It's interesting because she she's I thought maybe she I thought they would maybe kind of like gloss over and make her this like elegant prostitute, but no, she's a she's the real deal through and through. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Work in the corner. Yeah. Interesting. Well, it was the movie trading places. Did that come out before, pretty woman? That's the one where richer gears the prostitute. Yeah. The king. Yeah. Africa. Um, uh, trading places. Uh, it was I think it's like Eddie Murphy and Dan Acroid and Acroid. But but Jamie Lee Curtis is a prostitute in that one. Oh, is that so? Of course. Really. I believe I didn't know that. I didn't know Jamie Lee Curtis had that inner of she does. That's right. She has some some full frontal nudity in that. Wow. Wow. Whoa. That's my favorite kind. Yeah. I love that. I don't like full back noodle. No, I hate it. Partial full rear full rear. No, I think it might just be a partial nudity. Oh, still a great flick, but I just can't believe this many women were, uh, so keen to be prostitutes. But I was listening to a podcast on, uh, on the neighborhood. I'm going to be staying in London and it was a prostitution area, a big prostitution area in the 1700s. I think a lot of, uh, areas of England are, yeah, prostitution over there. They a lot of crime, a lot of prostitution, but they were in this podcast. They were making it seem like love didn't come out until the 1700s. Oh, the concept of love wasn't even around like until the 1700s. It was a 18th century. I can see it. Is that like, oh, I love someone. There's like chemistry and social compatibility. I mean, if you're growing up in the 1600s, like shit's pretty intense, but hold on. I've got a lot of time to be thinking about chemistry. When was Shakespeare theoretically alive? Tyler, could you look that up? Was it the 1400s? Maybe it was like the 16s or the 17s. Maybe it was 17s. No, see like 1664. So like he wrote Romeo and Juliet, which was rife with love. Huh. So this, are you telling me this podcast? Are you telling me the rest of this history? The podcast is fucking wild to me. Well, I don't know. Maybe it was just a fictionalized concept and then it actually became real. Yeah, that didn't, that didn't ring as true. That love didn't come out until the night or until the 1700s. But at the time, I was forced to take these guys had British accents. I was forced to take it as gospel as one does. What was like, I was always, and I've, I've raised this question before, but I never understood how in the age of prostitution and brothels being as common a visiting place as the local bar. How did they prevent constant pregnancy? Because I don't think that they had, I learned about this. They didn't sheepskin. No, they didn't prevent it. So women, some women would be at the brothel and it's like, if you were a fertile woman getting fucked that much, you're going to have kids and they're going to grow up in the brothel. You're going to have like, if you have daughters, don't grow up in the brothel or the brothel boys. And people are born into a life of. I was born in the brothel. Yeah, I grew up, I know, yeah. I lived in a brothel until I was 18. I never shared that with you guys. So you're always around so many women. It's so going circle. Yeah, they were just getting called to fuck between. Well, it's my virginity at six. No, that's a sex worker. No, no, you didn't know. I did tag in. No, I used to be. My mom was having my brother. So I gave up my body. They said that it was so much more common at the time. Like, there was an account of this guy who had like six or seven daughters and he was like writing to someone being like, yeah, some of my women are going to like, some of my daughters are going to be forced into hoard them because I only have money for like, like three dowries. And it's like, if you have a like to marry someone off, you have to give money with the daughter. So it's like, I only have money for three dowries, at least like three or four of my daughters are going to have to be prosecuted. It's kind of sad that he couldn't just be like, well, maybe I should just make each daughter have a smaller dowry and make them marry a poorer guy instead of like, yeah, the first thing you're going to get everything. And then the rest are going to be horny. Yeah, horny. I've never heard that word before. Horny. It's forced into hoard them. It's like when you have like a auction draft for your fantasy football team, you spend all $98 on Jameer Gibbs. It's like, I have two dollars left. I can get Khalil Shakir. There's enough to contra Henry for the rest of the dowry. It's brutal though, but they said that there is different levels of hoard them. So it's like some whores were like the high end courtesan of like a flourishing member of society. And then some just had only fanside. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For doing AI stand up on only fans. Exactly. It's it was a fascinating topic though. They published a book. There was like a book of like the 400 like top horse in the area. Oh my god. Like a directory. And they all had like a little bit of a description about them. That's crazy. And there was this one famous woman like this famous like high end hooker that wanted to get into the book. So she had to get an exam from a doctor to be vetted to make sure she had no like venereal diseases. So she could be approved to be a member of this book. And she signed a contract being like basically like if it turns out you're lying about any of this you have to pay the publisher $20 or something, which I guess was. That's a lot of money. Fascinating. That is interesting. So that's where I'm staying in England. Fuck yeah. Are you going to go to the whore houses? I don't think I'm going to go visit the old ones. I was looking I was trying to find where they were exactly. Yeah. Area called the Strand and coming gardens. Strand. The Strand is um that's where Shakespeare was. Well yeah. That's where it wasn't that where the globe theater was. Was it? Yeah. The Strand. Strapherd on Avon. What the fuck? That's a lot of history in one in one area. I know. We're just here in the horse. This is kind of just a showing that we're like multi-dimensional. Yeah. We can talk about the stuff that's going on in comedy. We could talk about history of saints. I mean, Hortum is essentially acting. If you think about it, like it is. I think they have a lot of ideas. Yeah. Rename this street Broadway. I'm wrong about the Strand. That's not where Strapherd on Avon is the name of the area and that's where the globe theater is. But there what I thought there was some connection between Shakespeare and the Strand. Sounds fortunate. Doesn't matter. The Strand East. Norm is playing the Strand. Strand bookstore. Let's see. Maybe that's what we're thinking. Yeah, I could be. All right. All right. We've done enough. Yeah. All right. We will see you guys next week. Thank you for listening. I'm going to be on the road coming up soon. I'm going to Columbus. I think next week for a one-nighter and then I brought Baltimore and Lexington later this month. So check those out on my website or on Punch Up Live. Thank you. Anything else, fellas? All right. Goodbye.
